. To all whom it may concern:

Be 'it known that I, JUNL G. ross, a

citizen of the .United States, residing at Montevideo, in the county of Chippewa and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Rounding Fellies, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

M invention relates to improvements 111 machines for shaping or laning wood and to one especially designe for rounding the spokes of vehicle wheels and for similar purposes.

The object of the invention is to provide an. improved means for mounting and ad- {pstng the spindle of the cutting or planing ea I Another object of the invention is to provide a mechanism of this character especially adapted for use in connection with my improved wheelwright machine set forth in Letters Patent #891,745 granted to me June 23, 1908.

With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists of the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of arts hereinafter fully described and claime and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my im proved wood working machine; Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail vertical section; and Fig. 4 is a detail horizontal section taken on the plane indicated by the line 4-4 in Fig. .3.

In the drawings 1. denotes a suitable supporting frame at the to of which is arranged a work supporting tab e 2 havinge central opening 3. The latter is provided to re ceive the projecting upper end of a vertical spindle or shaft 4 which carries a cutting head 4 which may be of any suitable form and construction. As illustrated,'saidhead is secured u on the reduced upper end 5 of the spind e by a nut 6 which clamps in against a shoulder 7 formed on the spindle.

The shaft 4 is mounted for both rotary and sliding movement ina stationary bearing 8 50 fixed upon the upper part of a vertical post or sup ort 9 within the frame 1. The lower end 0 the spindle is journaled for rotation in bearings 11, 12 provided in s aced relation upon a slide 13 mounted or vertical '55 movement upon one face of the lower ortion ofthe post. Said slide is .mounte for vertical movement by forming upon. its top and bottom projections-14 having vertically extending slots 15 to receive clamping bolts 16. These bolts pass through transverse openings in the post 9 and have their heads.

17 engaged with the outer faces of the pro- JBC'UOHS 1.4 and clamping nuts 18 upon their screw threaded ends. It will be seen that when the nuts 18 are loosened the slide or vertically movable member 13 may be raised or lowered to raise or lower the cutter head according to the work to be performed by the machine; and that when said nuts are tightened the slide will be eifectively sccured to the post. I

The slide is adapted to be adjustedby a yoke lever 19 of substantially U-shape adapt ed to extend. around the post 9 and having its parallel arms pivoted. intermediate their ends to opposite faces of the post, as shown at 20. The free ends 21 of said arms are disposed upon opposite sides of the slide 13 and are ap'ertl'ired to receive pivots 22 upon said slide, as clearly shown in Fi s. 3 and 4] The closed end of the lever 19 is formed at its center with an enlargement 23 having a vertical opening to receive a vertical rod 24 having at one end a screw threaded portion that works through a stationary nut 26 in the form of a bracket fixed to the lower portion of the post. T he up or end of the screw rod 24 is swiveled in the ever or yoke 19 by providing upon it, above the enlargement 23 a fixed collar 27 and below said enlargement a stop nut 27 l The upper extremity of the screw rod is preferably bent to provide a crank handle 28 so that the rod may be readily turned to raise or lower it and conscquently to oscillate the lever 19 and raise or lower the bearing slide 13. Fixed upon the spindle 4 in the open portion of the slide 113 between the bearings 11, 12 is a pulley 29to receive a driving belt or band 30.

As above stated, the frame 1- may be of airy suitable form. and. construction, but when the invention is to be used in connection with my improved wheclwright'machine set forth in my patent application above referred to, I preferably make it, as illustrated, of suitably connedted upper side bars 31 which support the table 2 and which are sup- .portcd at one end by uprights 32 and are connected at their other ends by straps 33 to side pieces 34, 35 of an upright frame. The side piece 35 has suitably journaled u on its extended upper portion a main drive s aft 36 having a driving belt wheel 37. Journaled in bearings '38, 39 upon the frame 1 is a ver tical shaft 40, the upper end of which carries a pulley which is connected by a crossed belt 4] to a pulley upon one end of the shaft 36; and upon the lower portion of said vertical shaft 40 is a pulley or wheel around whichv the belt 30 passes. The pulley 29 is comparatively wide and the slidable bearing 12 has very little longitudinal movement so that there will he no likelihood of the belt 30 being pulled oil of the driving wheel on the shalt 40 when the cutter is adjusted.

In Opfll'tltlml, it will be seen that when the main drive shaft is rotated, its motion will be imparted through the belt ll, the shaf t 40 and the belt 30 to the spindle l. The latter rotates the cutter head and the work to be shaped rests upon the table 2 and is shoved up against said head. Owing to the manner ot mounting and adjusting the spindle 4, it

will be seen that the machine may be adapted lor planing and shaping various kinds of work.

Ha in g thus described my invention what I claim is:
